It is a shame that most people are unaware of the efficacy of Homeopathy to treat ADD, ADHD and autism-spectrum disorders. Do some research and you'll see how hundreds of thousands of people have been cured of these ailments using Homeopathy alone.

Do some research and you'll find homeopathy is bunk. There's no science behind it, studies have shown it completely ineffective, and besides, it's just clean water.

You are saying this out of the research you have done yourself, right? And yes, I have done the research and also have experienced it first hand -- something that Stanford doctors could not do (and an army of 3 different specializations nonetheless) was cured using Homeopathy. Is this placebo effect?

Give it up. It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, or it cured your cancer or whatever, you'll never get past the skeptics.

This is a lie. Perhaps the poster is lying to themselves, but it is a lie nonetheless.

With the rampant abuse of market power by the drug companies with Ritalin and anti depressants, I wonder if homeopathy could be a helpful competitor. Magic water can't cause harm and takes some money away from you so you can't use it for something harmful.

I don't remember the names, but a whole generation of anti depressants was shown to be completely useless and harmful. The initial studies were fabricated and/or got into journals unethically. The various decade long studies on Ritalin also show it to be largely useless and harmful.

Homeopathy is offensive to people who respect science, but it's a noble lie in the current market conditions.

Twenty seconds on Google Scholar would lead me to the opposite conclusion. Your source?

[Detrus]

My source is this very article we're commenting on, citing those decade long studies.

[estevez]

If that's the case then I disagree with your characterization; I don't see any passage that refers to decade long studies that show that Ritalin is "harmful" in the long-term.

The placebo effect can be a wonderful thing.
